Modern, fairly newly constructed hotel a short walk from Kyoto train station. Clean room, friendly staff and excellent breakfast buffet!

LOVED this hotel and stayed for 5 nights. Would definitely stay here again. Easy walk from the station, especially when traveling with luggage. The location was very convenient with 7-11 across the road and lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. The room was so comfortable. Beds and bedding were also very comfortable and made for many good nights of sleep. Complimentary water. Modern and spotlessly clean bathroom and toilet. We had a view out to Kyoto tower. Lots of usb ports was very useful. Staff were helpful and we could store our luggage at the hotel until check in. Highly recommend this hotel.

Everything is good. Staff are nice, property is new ish and created a zen kind of vibe. We picked the twin room that isn’t the smallest size and it faces the main road, which the glass window is not thick enough and we can hear the road noise and cars revs.

The hotel is a short walk from the Kyoto station. The property itself is elegant! Our room was spacious and beautiful. The beds were very comfortable and everything was clean. The window didn't have much of a view considering the hotel is in the city, but there was a small rock garden just outside that made up for it. The buffet breakfast offered both Western and traditional Japanese fare and was delicious. It was worth the extra cost. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Kyoto.

The hotel is only 4 minutes from Kyoto station. The rooms were nice and well maintained. The hotel had a public onsen which was do nice and convenient. As an American, we found the pillows hard but they provided us with softer ones at our request. Highly recommend.
